My Galaxy S8 Plus battery life (so far)

I've had the Galaxy S8+ for a few hours now. The first few hours with a phone aren't a great test for battery life. I've been downloading stuff all day. But, for the sake of sharing, here's how it has held up so far.

I'll try to update this post with more screenshots as I'm using the phone.
 
So what's the verdidict on your battery life?

So far, I'm impressed with the battery life. I had a Note 3 which had a pretty good battery and I just replaced it before I got the S8+. At least so far, this out performs that one by far. Yesterday I was on it all day with calls, some internet, texts (speech to text also which eats up battery) and a lot of screen time. It was at 53% when I went to bed. That is with no power saving mode. Today it's even better with the lowest level power saving mode. The only difference I can tell is that my Gmail doesn't give me notifications when I receive e-mails.

Assuming 1080p/not @QHD... it's still awesome.
Curious how long at the latter... And if you noticing any stuttering/delays switching between multiple tabs /apps.
